I think Thunder is related to Blue Banisters in a way. We see heat lightning at the end of the video (and she also talks about it in the lyrics), where lightning is so far away that you cannot hear the thunder. So that man is so far away yet he or his remainders are still right there.

"You roll like thunder

When you come crashing in

Town ain't been the same

Since you left with all your friends"

 

"It's heat lightning

Cause there's a man that's in my past, there's a man that's still right here

He's real enough to touch and in my darkest nights

He's shinin'"

 

 

So let's manifest Thunder MV next

This make me appreciate new version of the Thunder more. The demo sounds more like a cool NFR song, but this version fits more into this album and also melancholy of the song.

they don't score, but if they did it'd prob ~8 (they like it a lot but there were def songs/things they didn't like)

To me it doesn't read as an 8/10.

They even wrote at the end, Blue Banisters may well be a disappointment, but in another sense it’s appropriate that the album fades into background music at times (...) something to play while refreshing the news and recharging your phone, waiting for a moment when normal becomes anything other than this.

lol ok you're right that's kinda brutal– but they mention so much that anything that comes after NFR would read as disappointing so i guess i was taking that into account in how i read the criticism too.

Mess

 

They always do 2 reviews, the premature evaluation and the official review but this is fairly mixed and will probably mean they will give the album a 5 or 6
